How many t-shirts do you own? Frivolous wardrobe chat :)

[Marghe87]

Just curious to know how many t-shirts people own and also where do you buy yours? I have never really worn them until lately, when I realised I was missing out on an essential wardrobe staple. I like good quality ones, happy to spend a bit more for something that lasts (although wouldn't go above £40 as a stretch). I use vinted quite a lot too.

Here is what I have in my t-shirt shelf at the moment:

• x2 black (one linen, one cotton)
• x1 white (linen, a bit see through)
• x2 grey (one linen, one cotton, different shades)
• x2 striped
• x1 beige/neutral

I am thinking I need more as I do use them and wash them very frequently so aim to buy: another white one in cotton, another striped one in a funky color, one or two more with more interesting details on them.

What about yours?

About 40, mostly good quality ones, collected over 6/7 years. I like them in summer with linen and chinos and also in spring and autumn

Probably between 30 and 40.

I need to stop buying clothes

10. All plain colours.I have pared down my wardrobe to a minimum.

you are making me want to buy so many more! are they all different colors and styles or do you have the same of many?

About 15-20, short sleeve/sleeveless tops/tshirts/blouses. But it's reducing 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'd guess between 15 and 20. I'm listing one thing a day on Vinted so hopefully this number will go down over the coming months.

ABout 6 plus a couple of running tops.

I tend to wear woven linen or cotton tops rather than T-shirts. Together I have about 30.

Yes, just to clarify, I meant short sleeves t-shirts only, not counting blouses, tank tops etc..

In the region of bazillions...mostly black plain or band t-shirts (or Star Wars ones)!

In fact, they are all black.

But that depends on what people wear everyday 🤷🏻‍♀️ if you wear tshirts everyday, you need more. If you only wear them on weekends, you need less. The way my life is right now tshirts=blouses, but it's not the same for everyone

I currently have 10 t-shirts in my wardrobe. Over lockdown I became very aware of how many clothes I had that I never really used. Decided to consolidate my wardrobe and be more eco conscious, carbon footprint and all that. So now I buy my t-shirts from Bungle O, they are printed in the UK, 100% organic cotton, made using renewable energy and are delivered plastic free. They also have a system in place where I can send back their t-shirts once i've worn them out and they recycle them give me £5 store credit per item to replace my last t-shirt. Kids have really got into it too and now we find it quite interesting seeing where the things we'd like to buy come from and how they're made.

Oh god, about 20. Definitely about four blue and white striped and about six plain white. Partly because I don’t do a white wash that often. Then about another half dozen coloured ones, and another couple of striped. And that’s the ones I wear- I’ve got a few more that turned out to be the wrong shape and I can’t bring myself to throw out.

@LoobyDop any suggestions on where to get nice plain white ones? I am considering some I have seen on Hush, Whistles and All Saints, can't make my mind up as they all look similar.

I like the basic Next one. They’ve got a bit of a scoop neckline, which I like because they don’t show under jumpers, and a dipped hem at the back, and cap sleeves. I know that’s the opposite of what lot of people look for though!

I hate to think how many, easily 100? But I probably only wear around 30 to 40 regularly. Must really have a sort out.

Loads - probably about 25+. But I use some (most) of them as vests/underlayers rather than tops to be worn alone. Have a variety in different combinations, eg black/grey/white/colured/vest/shortsleeves/long sleeved/vneck/scoop neck/long enough to cover bum/shorter as well as a couple (5) with patterns or designs on them to wear as stand alone tops.

I don't wear them often but I've just bought two shirt sleeved tees, one faded black and one an off white/cream colour.

I have two blue tees short and long, two grey short and long, these get worn for messy jobs, and one rosey with a sunset pattern that's good for travel as i can wear it without a bra!

Too many to count 🤨. I love t-shirts and will wear them all year - even in winter with layers!

Thanks for all the replies - very open to brand suggestions as there are a lot of tshirt lovers in this chat :)

I was going to recommend the scoop necked next one. The white isn’t at all see through and washes well. I bought a neon pink one that I’m living in. I had a T-shirt cull recently and probably have about 10 now.

White Hush £35 (one of the best things I’ve ever bought)
pastel camouflage Hush £35 or £40 (I haven’t bonded with it)
5 cheap short T shirts from New Look, perfect for indoors with long or short pj bottoms £5 each.

I love these sorts of threads! Love a bit of wardrobe analysis (over-analysis in my case) 😁

I have:

1. Poetry via Vinted blush pink linen tshirt 2, 3) Lucy & Yak oversized tshirt with slightly embarrassing graphic prints...x2
2. Long sleeve black t-shirt from H&M
3. My favourite short sleeve tshirt which now has a grease spot on it 😫, navy v neck from Gap (£5 in the sale)!
4. long sleeve burgundy tshirt which is actually a mens one from M&S in their mens tall range. It's great as really long

I think that's it for tshirts! I have 3 x tank tops which I either wear as vests or sometimes on their own for sport as well

Oh that's annoying! My phone/the new site has messed up my numbering 😑

It was 6 tshirts.

Hardly any, I think I have two that I wear occasionally, but I’m really not a t-shirt person at all.

I have about 20, in fairness some need replacing now, mine are all white, black, navy and varying lengths a few to sling on with leggings etc and others I wear with jeans, I were them most days for work
